FAQs

What precautions should I consider when using the KOHLER K-8033-CP Sound-tile Speakers?

When using these speakers, always disconnect power to the audio source before servicing. Follow all plumbing, electrical, and building codes. Avoid installing the speakers where they may be submerged or directly exposed to water spray.

How do I properly clean and care for the speakers?

For optimal care, use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap combined with warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch or dull the surface. It's a good practice to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before full application. If you need more detailed cleaning information, you can refer to Kohler's official care and cleaning guide.

How can I remove or reinstall the speaker cover?

To remove the cover, use the hex wrench that came with your speaker. Thread the setscrews clockwise into the assembly until the setscrew clears the hole in the cover. Pull the bottom of the cover outwards and then lift it. For reinstalling, hook the top edge of the cover into the grooves and align the holes at the bottom with the setscrews.

What kind of warranty does the KOHLER K-8033-CP Sound-tile Speakers offer?

For residents of the USA and Canada, Kohler offers a five-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship during regular residential use. For commercial applications or if the product is installed outside of North America, the warranty duration is one year.

My speaker produces no sound, what could be the issue?

Ensure the speaker is connected to an audio source. If connections are secure, inspect the wire connections between the speaker and the audio source and rectify any loose or disconnected wires.

Are there any troubleshooting guidelines for the speakers?

Yes, if the speaker produces no sound, it might be due to the speaker not being connected to an audio source or a loose connection between the audio source and the speaker. If the speaker rattles, it could be because the setscrews are not fully engaged with the cover or a missing/damaged gasket behind the cover.

What are the key specifications of the KOHLER K-8033-CP Sound-tile Speakers?

The speakers have a peak power of 135 Watts and an average power of 45 Watts. The frequency response ranges between 85 Hz to 22 kHz, with a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms. They operate optimally at an ambient temperature up to 122°F (50°C).

Is there any risk associated with the speakers' operation?

Yes, there's a risk of electric shock. Always ensure power is disconnected from the audio source before servicing. Additionally, there's a potential risk of product damage if the speakers are submerged in water or exposed to direct spray.

Why is it important to retain the invoice or receipt of the product?

It's essential to retain these documents because they can serve as additional protection and may substitute the warranty in the case there's a discrepancy in the validity of the warranty.

How do I order more information or literature about care & cleaning?

What should I do if my speaker rattles?

If your speaker rattles, one of the common reasons is that the setscrews might not be fully engaged with the cover. Another reason could be a missing or damaged gasket behind the cover. Adjust the setscrews or replace the gasket accordingly.
